SLP-03 Vacuum Tube Preamplifier

The SLP-03 tube preamplifier embodies Cary Audio’s long-standing tradition of high-performance tube design, delivering musicality, flexibility, and elegant control in a fully balanced component. Designed to serve as the centerpiece of a high-end system, the SLP-03 offers six pairs of RCA single-ended inputs, one balanced XLR input, and both balanced and single-ended outputs for seamless system integration.

A built-in Cinema Bypass allows easy integration with a home theater processor, while comprehensive control options, including IR, RS-232, and trigger connections, make the SLP-03 equally at home in dedicated listening rooms or custom-installed systems. The front-panel display clearly shows input and volume settings and can be dimmed to suit your listening environment.

At its core, the SLP-03 delivers the sound Cary Audio is known for. A carefully matched tube complement produces a rich, dimensional midrange, smooth highs, and a warm, authoritative low end that pairs beautifully with Cary Audio power amplifiers. For listeners seeking the musical realism of tubes with modern connectivity and straightforward operation, the SLP-03 remains a timeless and compelling choice.
